Annual Budgets
INSTRUCTIONS and guidelines
- Only currently registered student organizations in good standing with UToledo can apply for an operating budget. Student organizations with outstanding issues should consult with the Office of Student Involvement and Leadership (OSIL).
- Registered student organizations that have been active for at least two years can apply for an operational budget for the following academic year.
- Organizations applying for a budget for the first time are allocated a maximum of $250.
- Operational budgets are issued on a year-to-year basis. Having an operational budget one year does not guarantee that a student organization will receive an operational budget during the following year.
- Funding is awarded based on the request, justifications for expected expenditures, the activity of the organization and the funds available each year.
- Answer all questions honestly and in their entirety. Some research may be required, so give yourself ample time to complete the form. If you currently have a university budget, it can be found within Documents section of your InvoNet page. Presidents, Treasurers, and UToledo Advisors have access to view the budget.
- All budget requests must be submitted electronically. Handwritten requests will not be accepted.
The annual budget process will be available on January 1st. A member of your student organization's leadership team should submit the budget request form and all supporting documents by 11:59 pm on February 15. Depending on the amount you request, your organization may be asked to submit additional materials or present to the Student Allocation Committee (SAC) to state your case for funding:
- $0-999: No presentation or additional materials required.
- $1,000-2,999: Additional materials required to justify funding. These may include traditional presentation formats (PowerPoint, Prezi) or things like photos and/or marketing materials from past events. In-person presentation optional.
- $3,000 or more: In-person presentation to SAC required. You will sign up for a time at the end of the form.
penalties
- Late forms will receive a 10% reduction per week on the funding request, not to exceed 30%. Forms received after the 3-week mark will NOT be reviewed.
- If you are required to present to SAC (requesting $3,000+) and do not attend, you will receive an automatic 10% reduction.
